<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-item even"><p>The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every aspect of our lives on both individual and societal levels. Within health sciences and medicine, healthcare workers and scientists are working tirelessly to find treatments and cures. Outside of these disciplines, how can we contribute? Here is one opportunity: download the CovidWatcher app (available on <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/covidwatcher/id1504295590">iOS </a>and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.columbia.covidwatcher&amp;hl=en_US">Android</a>) developed by researchers from Columbia University and share it with your network.</p>

<p><a href="https://covidwatcher.dbmi.columbia.edu/">CovidWatcher </a>is a tool that enables citizens to answer questions about their health conditions and resource needs to help cities, hospitals, and community organizations make resource deployment decisions. In other words, CovidWatcher takes a <a href="https://www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/covidwatcher-app-columbia-university-tracks-coronavirus-hot-spots-nyc">citizen science approach</a> in data collection so that every citizen has an opportunity to contribute to the process of tackling a pandemic through filling in knowledge gaps. </p>
<p>CovidWatcher analyzes collected data and shares insights in an anonymous and aggregate fashion with their community partners<sup>1</sup>. Data is also used to power an interactive map on its website that allows citizens to understand the development of COVID-19 situations in their communities. </p>
<p>This tool addresses two components of pandemic response: cross-sector planning and coordination as well as situation monitoring and assessment. The success of these activities partially depends on inclusive data collection as every citizen matters. So it’s time to participate and call on our networks to become citizen-scientists and join this effort!</p>

<p>Archives &amp; Special Collections, Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library, is pleased to announce a new exhibit highlighting a recent important donation to the Library by Dr. David R. Bickers, Chairman of the Department of Dermatology.</p>
<p>The gift of more than 50 volumes of classic dermatology texts considerably augments the Library’s rare book holdings in this field. The books date from 1682 to 1928 and include a range of works from scientific landmarks to popular texts on shampooing and skin care. </p>
<p>Viewers will be able to see pioneering works such as Daniel Turner’s <em>De Morbis Cutaneis </em>(1736), A.C. de Lorry’s<em> Tractatus de Morbis Cutaneis</em> (1777), and the first book by an American devoted solely to skin diseases, Noah Worcester’s 1845 <em>Synopsis of the Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment of the More Common and Important Diseases of the Skin.</em></p>
<p>There are also several important color plate atlases, including <em>Delineations of Cutaneous Diseases</em> (1817) by Thomas Bateman; the English translation of Pierre F.O. Rayer’s <em>A Theoretical and Practical Treatise on the Diseases of the Skin </em>(1835); and<em> Photographic Illustrations of Skin Diseases</em> (1881) by George Henry Fox, one of Dr. Bickers’ predecessors as chairman of the department.</p>
<p>In addition, on display are the first English translations of <em>Phototherapy</em> (1901) by the Dane, Niels Finsen – a work that won him the Nobel Prize – and Paul G. Unna’s path-breaking treatise, <em>The Histopathology of the Diseases of the Skin </em>(1896).</p>
<p>Rounding out the exhibit is a case devoted to dermatology at Columbia including photographs and publications.</p>
<p>The exhibit can be viewed on Lower Level 2 of the Hammer Building from September 16 to December 18, 2019. The space is open 24/7 but you must have a valid Columbia University ID to access the building.</p>
<p>The exhibit was curated by Stephen E. Novak, Head, Archives &amp; Special Collections, Health Sciences Library. </p>

<p>The Columbia University Health Sciences Library is pleased to host Peter Wortsman, former writer for <em>Columbia Medicine</em>, award-winning author of fiction, travel memoirs, stage plays, and an esteemed translator, on November 13 when he’ll recount his 31 years interviewing some of America’s most noteworthy MDs in a wide variety of fields who have made a fundamental difference in the lives of others – all graduates of Columbia’s Vagelos College of Physicians &amp; Surgeons.</p>
<p>Based on his recent book, <em>The Caring Heirs of Doctor Samuel Bard: Profiles of Selected Distinguished Graduates of Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons</em>, (Columbia University Press, 2019), Wortsman will recap the experience of interviewing such innovative thinkers and doers as Nobel laureates Baruch Blumberg and Robert Lefkowitz; late pediatrician and political activist Benjamin Spock; surgeon and NASA astronaut Story Musgrave; surgeon and former Columbia University trustee, the late Kenneth Forde; former NYC Commissioner of Health, Mary Bassett, and pediatrician-turned refugee health advisor-turned substance abuse specialist, the late Davida Coady, among many others.</p>
<p>In the words of one of Wortsman’s distinguished subjects, child psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Robert Coles ’54: “All interviews, one hopes, become jointly conducted.” A medical mosaic of sorts, these doctors’ histories invert the stethoscope, as it were, permitting the reader to listen in on the heartbeat of American medicine at its best. </p>
<p>Attendees are invited to remain for a reception and book signing by Mr. Wortsman. The lecture is free and open to the public but advance registration is required:</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-item even"><p>Archives &amp; Special Collections at Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library is pleased to announce the opening of the papers of Dr. Mathilde Krim (1926-2018), biomedical scientist, pioneer AIDS activist, and philanthropist. </p>
<p>To access information about the papers, researchers should start with the record in CLIO, the Columbia University Libraries’ online public access catalog: <a href="https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/14267453">https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/14267453</a>. From there a link connects to the finding aid.</p>
<p>At the outset of the AIDS epidemic Krim recognized the urgent need to meet its devastating medical and social effects. In 1983, she founded the AIDS Medical Foundation (AMF), the first private organization to support AIDS research. Two years later AMF and the National AIDS Research Foundation merged to become the American Foundation for AIDS Research, popularly known as amfAR (it is now known as amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research). It soon became the country’s leading non-profit organization devoted to supporting AIDS research, prevention, and scientifically sound public health policy. Besides being amfAR’s founding chair, Krim served as its Board chairman from 1990 to 2004. In these roles she became one of the country’s most visible advocates for the need to adequately fund AIDS research as well as an outspoken champion of the human rights and dignity of persons with AIDS.</p>
<p>Krim’s papers are 65 cubic feet in extent, housed in 182 boxes. They are largely professional in nature and cover her entire career, dating from circa 1948 to 2016. Besides her AIDS activism, the papers contain much relating to her important earlier work with Interferon at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The papers include printed-out email correspondence, letters, memoranda, notes, reports, minutes, meeting materials, financial statements, grant applications, photographs, speeches, interviews, congressional testimony, conference proceedings, brochures, programs, and audiovisual materials. </p>
<p>The bulk of the papers is open to researchers without restrictions. A small amount of material is closed for a specific period of time while access to other records is restricted under the terms of the Privacy Rule of the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).</p>
<p>The papers were processed and the finding aid written by Jennifer Ulrich, Technical Services Archivist. For more information about the Krim Papers please contact Archives &amp; Special Collections at <a href="mailto:https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/14267453">hslarchives@columbia.edu</a></p>

<p>Isabel is a differential diagnosis support system designed to identify potential missed diagnoses. By entering a list of patient symptoms and information, Isabel generates a list of the 10 most likely diagnoses. For more information on each diagnosis, the following library resources are linked to each page: DynaMed Plus, PubMed (General Search, Clinical Queries, Systematic Review, Case Reports), UpToDate, Access Medicine, Clinical Key, Micromedex and Lexicomp.</p>
<p>The diagnostic support feature is recommended for clinicians and staff seeing patients in a clinical setting.</p>
<p>In addition to clinical applications, Isabel also has educational features. Professors can create and import case exercises that students complete in the program. Beginning with a Pre-Test where students access uploaded PDFs of case descriptions, images, lab results, etc., the student can look up potential diagnoses for that case. After searching for more information in the linked resources, the student can go back to the case and answer questions in the Post-Test. </p>
<p>The education feature is recommended for teaching faculty who want students to learn diagnostic skills in a controlled environment through exploration of information resources.</p>
<p>Isabel can be accessed through the Library Catalog CLIO:</p>

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-item even"><p><img alt="" src="https://library.cumc.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/announcements/bard.png" style="width: 300px; height: 400px;" /></p>
<p>The Health Sciences Library has recently acquired a manuscript by Samuel Bard (1742-1821), a founder of the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and a prominent early American physician. The 20-page handwritten document is the text of an unpublished commencement address given by Bard to the graduates of the College, probably in about 1818. </p>
<p>Bard warned his audience of new physicians that “instead, therefore, supposing you have finished, remember you have but begun your studies.” He went on to say that “the young man who entertains a high opinion of his present attainments in virtue or knowledge, is not likely to improve in either.” Besides being a proponent of life-long learning, Bard urged his audience to be “gentlemen,” which he saw characterized not by “artificial varnish” but rather by “genuine effusions of a good Heart.”</p>
<p>This is the third Bard manuscript acquired by the Health Sciences Library. Several years ago it purchased the draft of his 1811 opening day address, “Discourse on the Importance of Medical Education,” and in 2017 it acquired his 1819 report to the New York State Board of Regents, “Remarks on the constitution, government, discipline &amp; expences [sic] of medical schools.” In addition, the Library has in the last twenty years purchased most of Bard’s published works including his Enquiry into the nature, cause and cure, of the angina suffocativa, or, sore throat distemper (1771), an important work on diphtheria; the 1810 French translation of that work; and the first (1807) edition of his Compendium of the theory and practice of midwifery, the first textbook on the subject by an American.</p>
<p>Samuel Bard studied first at King’s (now Columbia) College before receiving his medical degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1765. He was one of six physicians of New York City who in 1767 persuaded King’s College to establish a medical school, now the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, the second oldest in the United States. Bard served as its dean and professor of medicine until its closure in 1776 due to the War for Independence and, after the newly renamed Columbia College revived the school in 1791, he served first as dean and later as president of the college until his death. Bard Hall, the college’s main residence hall, is named for him.</p>
<p>Besides his involvement with the medical school, Bard was one of the founders in 1771 of New York Hospital, now part of New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the primary teaching hospital of the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.</p>
<p>The new manuscript is in generally good condition though it will require treatment by conservators to prevent paper loss. Once this work is complete, the manuscript will be available for study and exhibition.</p>

<p><strong>An Exhibit, January 28 – May 10, 2019</strong></p>
<p><strong>Hammer Health Sciences Building, Lower Level 2</strong></p>
<p><strong><img alt="" src="https://library.cumc.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/announcements/P-001613.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 436px;" /></strong></p>

<p>The current Columbia University Irving Medical Center opened in 1928 but all its constituent members had a previous existence – some, as in the case of the Vagelos College of Physicians &amp; Surgeons (P&amp;S), dating back to the 18th century. The Health Sciences Library’s new exhibit, Before the Medical Center: Former Homes of CUIMC Constituents, displays vintage photographs of the earlier homes of these institutions including P&amp;S, Presbyterian Hospital, Babies Hospital (now Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital), the Neurological Institute of New York, and other schools and hospitals. Some, like Presbyterian and the Neurological Institute, had only one home before making the trek to Washington Heights; others, like P&amp;S and the New York Orthopedic Hospital, spent time in several different locations before joining the Medical Center. </p>
<p>Besides views of the buildings, the exhibit also features interior scenes including the dental school’s clinic in its previous building on East 35th Street; a student’s room in Florence Nightingale Hall, the earlier School of Nursing home; and a surprisingly serene-looking emergency room at the old Presbyterian Hospital on East 70th St. and Madison Ave. All items are from the Health Sciences Library’s Archives and Special Collections.</p>
<p>Considering how quickly New York City’s landscape changes it’s remarkable that two of the former homes still exist: the former Neurological Institute at 149 East 67th St. and the old Babies Hospital, built in 1902, at the northeast corner of Lexington Ave. and 55th St.</p>
<p>The exhibit can be seen on Lower Level 2 of the Hammer Health Sciences Building, Jan. 28-May 10, 2019. The space is open 24/7 for those with Columbia University IDs. For more information contact <a href="mailto:hslarchives@columbia.edu">hslarchives@columbia.edu</a></p>
